TWO-HOURS OF YOUR TIME CAN CREATE A NATIONWIDE CHANGE: PHONEBANK WITH EQUALITY OHIO & TRANSOHIO TO SUPPORT ENDA!
It's 2010, and in most of the country, it is legal to be fired for being Transgender, Lesbian, Bisexual or Gay!
Protect ALL LGBT workers and their families by helping to pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), a federal bill that will ban job discrimination nationwide on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.
We have the votes in Congress, we have a president who will sign the bill… now we need to keep the momentum going strong!
These basic protections are long overdue. Join us to set the standard for fairness and equality in 2010 by working to mobilize supporters for this historic legislation.
What: Friendly phone calls to LGBT supporters in Ohio
When: Over the next two weeks Upcoming phone banks:
Sunday, March 14 (2pm-5pm)
Wednesday, March 17 (6pm-8pm)
Thursday, March 18 (6pm-8pm)
Tuesday, March 23 (6pm-8pm)
Wednesday, March 24 (6pm-8pm)
Where: Equality Ohio, 50 W. Broad St., Suite 1970, Columbus, OH 43215
Why: To move ENDA through Congress to a vote!
How: We'll provide scripts and training!
